😂😂 stop it ! It’s already cost far too much money 😀😀

Luckily. There’s not enough room behind to fit them

I decided last night I can’t live with the rubbish look of the mesh, so the ducts are on order from TPS and I’m gonna have to do some relocating, grinding and maybe welding to get them in. Will offer it back up over the wk end and see exactly what needs to be modified to make them fit 👍🏻

Looks loads better and defo worth the 100 quid. You can still kinda see through to the back of the bumper area but nowhere near as bad

Gonna have to get It back on now and see how it fits and what cutting/relocating is needed

Finally found a couple of free hours this eve to trial the bumper again now the ducts are in. Looks superb, but the right hand side duct is hitting the adblue tank.

so I’m in to either trimming the duct or modding the tank. You can see in the top pic the duct is out and it’s all on and fitting nice

It’s about 2/3 inches of conflict. So I’m gonna have another look at the wk end and maybe trim the duct to the shape of tank


The game continues... maybe one day it’ll go on ImageImage

Looks good mate.

I’d definitely trim the duct rather than cutting up the adblue tank. Then matt black the tank where it’s visible through the duct if it’s not already black.

You could gently heat the tank up in the offending area and carefully reshape it but it’s risky and it would need to be empty.
